The Dynamic Characterization Group (http://dcg.materials.drexel.edu/), in the Department of Materials Sciences and Engineering at Drexel University, is seeking a Ph.D. scientist with expertise in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a background in either materials science or condensed matter physics for a postdoctoral position to perform in situ TEM experiments on electronic, structural, and catalytic materials (most notably, ferroelectric / multiferroic ceramics, ultra high strength steels and next generation nuclear reactor materials).

The candidate is required to be experienced in microscopy techniques such as HRTEM, STEM and STEM-EDS, and FIB. Experience in instrumentation development, in situ TEM, and EELS are highly desirable. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Anticipated start-date: September 2010
